What is the command to output internet/Wi-Fi settings?

Thanks so much [member=5916]trinidad[/member] for this info. I compared ifconfig for both of my machines (the 3.8 one that's working fine and the 4.0 one with the intermittent issues). I didn't find anything that looked like it would be the problem.

I also found the man pages on the related command iwconfig and did that for both machines and again I'm not seeing anything obviously wrong.

In the hope that it may be an odd bug that is fixed in updates, I decided to do updates on 4.0 (I'd kept it up to date but there were new updates available so I did that). Because the Wi-Fi issue is very intermittent, I'll have to keep an eye on it for awhile to see if the problem is fixed or not.

It's been a little frustrating because it's not happening so often as to be able to notice it every time I'm working on the computer, but it's happening often enough that I don't want to do anything like internet banking or making any purchases using that machine (in case connection drops in middle of a transaction).

So, for now I will keep an eye on things and see if the udpates happened to fix anything. If you or anyone else has more suggestions I am open to that too.
